NATIONAL hanks CIRCULATION.
Probable course or the Treasury De-
partment Under Advisemens.
lBy telegraph TO the Dispatch.1

WASHINGTON, January 6.-There IS still
on deposit IN the United States Treasury to
secure the circulation Of national banks
S3,99S, 450 in called per cent. bonds which
have matured. These bonds are held by
one hundred and ninety-six banks, and are
all included I'm calls from the one hundred
and thirty-second, which matured Feb
ruary /, 1886, to and including
the one hundred and forty-fourth,
which matured December /, 1886.
In view Of the Attorney-GeneraPs
opinion that non-interest-be bearing bonds
cannot be used as basis for nationsl-bank
circulation, considerable interest is felt as
TO the probable course OF the Treasury De-
partment towards the banks holding bonds
in question. Mr.. Trenholm, Comptroller
Of the Currency, was this afternoon ques-
toned as TO what steps he pro-
posed 10 take in this matter, and
he said be would probably ask the Attor-
ney- General for advice before taking any
radical action. He was now engaged, he
said, In making q list OF banks and the
amount OF matured bonds held by each,
and be wanted to consult with the law
officers OF the Government rs TO
what it Is bis duty TO do next under
the circumstances. He was disposed TO
be lenient with the banks, but be felt that
he could no longer delay enforcing strict
compliance with the laws bearing on the
subject Of national bank securities. He
did not, however, apprehend any trouble
with the banks, as he thought they would
do their duty in the premises as soon as
it was made clear TO them from other
sources. IL was learned that the banks
will be allowed a week or ten days more
within which to replace matured bonds,
after which time oil banks in default in
this respect will be proceeded against, at
tention being paid first TO those longest in
default.

The Indiana Legislature.

INDIANAPOLIS, January 6.-The two
houses of the Legislature met and orgln-
lied this morning. The interest conferred
in the Senate, In which there was large
crowd. Green smith appeared and took
the chair, with the Auditor Of State acting
as clerk. The Republicans endeayored to
protest, but they were not permitted to be
heard, and without the Republicans voting
at all, but being counted rs present, the
Democratic caucus nominees were elected
and q set OF rules adopted that gave the
majority all the power. In the House the
Republican nominees were elected, with
Hon. w. G. Sayre as Speaker; but beyond
the formal organization no business was
transacted.
Congressman w. s. Holman reached this
city tonight and made formal announce
ment Of his intention to enter the Demo-
cratic senatorial contest. Ii Is understood
that neither party will caucus for senator
until the Lieutenant-Goyernorship ques-
ton 10 settled. The caucus will probably
not be held before Thursday night.

Failure I'm New York.
TBy telegraph to the Diepetch. I


NEW YORK, January 6.-The failure OF
4. Duncan Suiffin, an advertising agent,
was announced to-day. The liabilities
amount to about 100000. but his assets
cannot yet be ascertained. The principal
cause Of the failure was the assignment OF
the Duffy Malt-Whiskey Company, Sniffln
holding notes to the value OF $4,000, en-
dorsed by w. b. Duffy, for advertising.
When the Duty assignment was made no
mention OK Snifln was made. After this
failure he had hopes OF making arrange
ments with the holders OF the Duffy notes
for extension OF time; but yesterday
George w. Laird & Co. failed, and as Sniff
fin held 100000 Of the firms paper he
found the only thing he could do was to
assign and appoint his manager, Madison
j. Fares, assignee. The business will be
continued. 1t Is thought that the Duffy
notes will pay about 40 per cent.

being fertile but sw ampy, and invested With
the most malignant feyers. There IS an iron
mine, and it is said that gold has been
found there, but the people do little be-
side raise corn and rice enough for food
and tobacco, and bad wine enough to sup
ply their appetites. There are practically
no roads or other Improvements, and the
whole country has savage and forbldding
aspect. The inhabitants number about two
hundred and forty thousand, and are OF
the most debased type OF Georglans, being
physically, mentally, and morally the low
est OF the Caucasian tribes. They belong
aomInaly to the Greek Church. Mingre-
liza was taken in conquest by Russia in
1904, but the "Prince" was allowed to re-
tain his place as chief, under q Russian
oyerseer, until 1867, when he was alto
gether turned out and oonsoled therefor
with bounty Of seven hundred and fifty
thousand dollars. The Russian candidate
for the throne OF Bulgaria is son OF
Prince David Dadlan, the petty ruler thus

ment to-day. Both companies were organ

capital paid IN. They were very successful
at first, and gained large assets, all OF which
were gobbled up by President Goelet last
year. Since that time the companies have
struggled 10 retrieve their fortunes, doing
rather wild foreign business until the in
evitable end came to-day. The failure has
been expected here for some time. Few
policies were held here, as the condition OF
affairs was known to the public.
